Quick answer
If you are under 25, check the current driver requirements before planning around a specific rental. Review the current driver eligibility and document requirements in the booking flow and rental terms. Each person who plans to drive must complete the required approval steps before driving. Open a vehicle and select your trip start and end dates and times to see pricing. Review the trip total and booking requirements before submitting a request; a listed vehicle is not a guarantee of availability for your dates.
Check eligibility before making plans
Age is only one part of qualifying for a rental. Check the requirements for the selected vehicle and booking channel, including the license, documents and approval steps for every intended driver.
If a requirement is unclear, contact us before paying for flights or planning an event around the car. Having someone else make the reservation does not establish your eligibility to drive.
Compare the full trip quote
Open a vehicle and select your trip start and end dates and times to see pricing. Review the trip total and booking requirements before submitting a request; a listed vehicle is not a guarantee of availability for your dates.
Use the same dates, times and driver details when comparing providers. Review any age-related charges shown for your booking, along with mileage, pickup costs and optional items.
Confirm coverage for the actual trip
Check the current rental requirements and ask your insurer or benefit provider whether the specific driver, vehicle, booking channel and intended use are covered. Do not assume that a personal policy or card benefit covers every rental.
If you are named on a family policy, ask the provider about your own coverage for the exact rental. Keep the answer and any required documents available for the booking process.
Prepare before pickup
Complete the requested documents and approvals before traveling to collect the car. Follow the confirmed trip instructions for pickup, condition photos and return.
Choose a transmission you can already drive comfortably. Leave time at pickup to set the seat and mirrors and understand the controls.
